What's new in Manager V5:

User Mode:

Medialon Manager has always had 3 different modes of operation:

• Stop mode where your project can be conceived. Devices, Tasks, UserScreens and Variables can be created, modified and deleted freely.
• Debug mode allows you to see what is happening internally while your project runs and to make adjustments without stopping your project.
• Run Mode where Manager V5 fully interacts with external devices and hides all of the programming windows. Only the User Screens or Device and Task Control Panels are displayed.

Medialon Manager V5 adds the User Mode.
Giving the programmer the possibility to grant access to a “Custom Debug Mode” for the users and decide what will be available (which tasks, which variables or which device commands will be viewable or editable.).This important feature allows end users to have access to the programming environment of Medialon Manager V5 without compromising tasks running security or core processes vital for the project.

OpenCap:

OpenCap using MON protocol publishes tasks, variables and user screens to other Medialon Manager projects for easy development of shared applications. OpenCap also allows sharing of Manager Objects to "external clients" using the OpenCap API that increases Medialon Manager V5s powerful interoperability tools to communicate with third party software or develop add on modules in C++ or C#.

Shared User Groups:

Medialon Manager V5 changes the way Variables, Tasks, Screen information or Library Cues are shared between projects. Network sharing in now performed through the User Groups and Subgroups containing the elements to be published, a MON connection can therefore only control objects present in the shared group selected in the setup of its connection. Manager V5 projects can now control different parts of the same Server project without interfering with each other.

Network Detection and MON Login:

For added security, Medialon Manager V5 now implements network detection of Medialon Manager V5 hosts before allowing remote connections as well as a Login and Password authentication option to prevent illicit connections to your Server projects.

Cue Library:

The Cue library stores cues (commands for devices with saved parameters) that are frequently used during programming or a show. This option used to only be available via a right click menu within the task. It is now possible to simply drag and drop these cues into the Cue Library folder in the Manager Browser. It brings great control to the User Mode where restricted users can now have access to pre-programmed cues to edit the shows.

Workspace Themes:

Medialon Manager V5 now offers different themes to change the look of your workspace.
